Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 708

Early the next morning, Louis slipped out of Rowena's room just as dawn was breaking.

Although Rowena was merely his father's mistress, it would spell big trouble if anyone saw him leaving her room.

While his father likely wouldn't kill him as he was his only son, he would surely face a severe reprimand.

Louis assumed no one would be around at this hour, but someone spotted him the moment he stepped out.

"Louis, why are you coming out of Rowena's room?" Leticia Lawson exclaimed, her face filled with shock.

Louis hadn't even finished dressing, so it was impossible to concoct a lie on the spot. In a panic, he grabbed Leticia by the neck with a tight and menacing grip. "I'm warning you, Leticia. You better pretend you didn't see anything.

"I'll kill you if you dare say a word about this!"

"Rowena is still father's mistress, Louis. How could you do something so outrageous?" Leticia questioned, her voice tinged with disbelief.

A loud smack sounded as Louis slapped her hard across the face. "Shut up! What I do is none of your business. Watch your mouth!"

He then stormed off, leaving Leticia holding her swollen, aching cheek as tears welled up in her eyes.

Leticia was Caspian's youngest daughter and one of the four great ladies, lauded as the most beautiful woman in the capital city. Outwardly, she appeared to live a life of prestige and admiration, but that was only in the eyes of outsiders.

Within her own home, she held a status lower than her father's mistresses.

Her father greatly favored her brother, and he often treated Leticia with nothing but disdain.

No matter how much effort she put in or how well she performed, she never received any recognition or even a word of praise. Her brother was even worse. He would strike her over the slightest disagreement.

The most egregious incident occurred when he once drunkenly tried to assault her.

Fortunately, Leticia was strong enough. With Louis being drunk, she managed to fend him off and teach him a lesson.
